Keeping a safe navigational watch Flashcards
Part B of the Collision Regulations is split up into three sections, what are they?
Section I - Conduct of vessels in any condition of visibility
Section II - Conduct of vessels in sight of one another
Section III - Conduct of vessels in restricted visibility
What is rule 5 about?
State three ways in which you will achieve it in order to “make a full appraisal of the situation and of the risk of collision”
Lookout
Sight
Hearing
All available means
Why should a “vessel at all times proceed at a safe speed”?
- so that she can take proper and effective action to avoid collision
- be stopped within a distance appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and conditions.
What factors should all vessels take into account when determining a safe speed?
VD Makes Big Willies Droop
The state of visibility
The traffic density including concentrations of fishing vessels or any other vessels
The manoeuvrability of the vessel
At night the presence of background light
The state of wind, sea and current, and the proximity of navigational hazards
The draught in relation to the available depth of water
What factors additionally should vessels with operational radar take into account

- Characteristics, efficiency and limitations of the radar equipment;
- Any constraints imposed by the radar range scale in use;
- The effect on radar detection of the sea state, weather and other sources of interference
- The possibility that small vessels, ice and other floating objects may not be detected by radar at an adequate range;
- The number, location and movement of vessels detected by radar
- The more exact assessment of the visibility that may be possible
Under rule 8 action taken to avoid collision with another vessel shall result in what?
shall be such as to result in passing at a safe distance
The effectiveness of the action shall be carefully checked until when?
the other vessel is finally past and clear
What does Rule 10 not relieve any vessel of?
her obligation under any other Rule
A vessel using a traffic separation scheme shall:
- proceed in the appropriate traffic lane in the general direction of traffic flow for that lane
- so far as practicable keep clear of a traffic separation line or separation zone
- normally join or leave a traffic lane at the termination of the lane
When can a vessel enter an Inshore Traffic Zone?
- When she is a vessel of less than 20 metres in length
- If she is a sailing vessel
- If she is engaged in fishing
- When EN route to or from a port -
Offshore Installation
Pilot Station
Other place situated within the ITZ - To avoid immediate danger
When can a vessel enter a separation zone (other than a crossing vessel)?
- In cases of emergency to avoid immediate danger
- to engage in fishing within a separation zone
What should a vessel not using a TSS do?
avoid it by as wide a margin as is practicable
What operations exempt a vessel from complying with rule 10 to the extent necessary for carrying it out?
A vessel restricted in her ability to manoeuvre when engaged in an operation for -
- maintenance of safety of navigation
- laying, servicing or picking up of a submarine cable
Except where rules 9, 10 and 13 otherwise require, a power-driven vessel shall keep out of the way of
- vessel not under command;
- vessel restricted in her ability to manoeuvre;
- vessel engaged in fishing;
- sailing vessel
In rule 19 what actions should be taken upon encountering restricted visibility?
- proceed at a safe speed
- have her engines ready for immediate manoeuvre
